I am so saddened to hear of the loss of your mom,(Josephine) she was a wonderful person. I cannot have imagined my childhood without her, she was always there to look after us and did a great job of it!. She will be sadly missed by many people but most of all she will be missed by her children. Your mom is now looking down upon all of us and still watching out for us. Your mom was like a second mom to me and many more. I Love All Of You.

Josie traveled with me several times and there was always something funny to share with everyone when we got home... We were in Gatlinburg, TN for a Gamma Beta Phi convention in early April and there was still snow on the ground and we had to wear overcoats. Our room was on the 12th floor at the hotel. In the middle of the night, we hear the rustling of cellophane, saw a flashlight, and luggage being moved. It was Josie. She had awakened and remembered that she had opened a package of cookies earlier that day. She woke all of us up while she dug around in her suitcase looking for a ziploc bag to put the cookies in. When we asked her why she was doing that, she told us she didn't want to be responsible for getting ants in our room. Twelve floors up, in the winter, with snow outside, and Ms. Josie was protecting us from ants. What a good soul!
